Maggie Chestney

I aim to be a therapeutic refuge for folks who need a safe space to process, reflect upon, and explore issues that are impacting their lives. I recognize the courage it takes to be honest about how you’re feeling and get the resources you need while working through life problems, challenges, or traumatic experiences. As your counselor, I will meet you where you are and work diligently to create trust and safety in our relationship so you can bravely share your troubles and explore the patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space that’s warm, nonjudgmental and accepting. We’ll work collaboratively to meet your needs and goals. Since 2019 I've worked as a Rape Crisis Counselor answering calls for a rape crisis hotline. My clinical interests include PTSD/trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, LGBTQ+. My approach is trauma-informed and I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, humanistic-existentialism, mindfulness and somatic awareness. I am a Licensed Associate Professional Counselor (LAPC) in the state of Pennsylvania (#APC000565) working toward professional licensure under the guidance and supervision of Brad Carmichael, MSEd, LPC, (Pennsylvania license number PC009176). Professional supervision ensures the integrity of my clinical services are being rendered with quality care. For any questions or concerns, Brad can be contacted by calling 757-793-8325 or emailing bcarmichael@therapyemail.com.
